Avondale, Chicago IL 60618 13233240200000 4 units · 1913

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The four-unit building at 3301 N Monticello Ave in Avondale, owned by Joe D Havad and constructed in 1913, has experienced several noteworthy incidents over the past seven years according to the Chicago Master Building Record. The most significant clustering of issues occurred in May 2025, when multiple tree-related emergencies were reported, followed by a tree debris clean-up request, all of which have since been resolved. There was also one snow-related complaint regarding uncleared sidewalks later that year in December. Earlier, in February 2025, there was a reported pothole in the street near the property, which was addressed by the Chicago Department of Transportation. While the building's 311 service request history shows relatively low activity overall, with a total of 13 requests in seven years, it is worth noting that the majority of these incidents occurred during the single month of May 2025, suggesting either an unusual environmental event or perhaps the effects of a severe weather event during that period.

Risk rating

How 3301 N Monticello Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
